Simple Things

Comfort can be found everywhere in the simplicity of daily life…..

Snuggling in a warm blanket, like sleeping on a cloud.

Biting into the softness of a perfectly baked and then-dunked cookie.

The first taste of coffee on your tongue after a sleepless night.

Sharing the warmth of soft skin with your spouse.

Overcoming a struggle, feeling a sense of honest pride.

Laughing so hard it causes real tears and pains in your sides.

Connecting with someone in an unexpected moment.

Learning something new and feeling accomplished.

The soothing, sliding sounds of fingertips on guitar strings.

The sound of crashing water as it moves relentlessly.

Enjoying a moment of peace in nature, feeling the sun shine on your face.

Smelling the sweet smoke of a campfire on a chilly autumn evening.

Counting the stars in the darkest and clearest night sky.

Your freshly cleaned home or the smell of just dried laundry.

The slobbery kisses from your puppy when you are sad.

Listening to your favorite song, driving around with the windows down.

The scent of your favorite dinner dish being prepared in the kitchen.

Watching your favorite movie, the one you have seen a thousand times.

Many simple things can bring comfort when permitted.
